The show consists of 25 artists, each of whom will reinterpret a My Little Pony figurine. The event is also a benefit to aid the Save Our Heritage Organization's efforts to save downtown's Caliente racetrack mural. The show will take place at Quality Social (789 6th Avenue in Downtown San Diego) on Friday, March 23rd, 6-11 p.m.

And for food, Johnson has a place just across the street: Katsuya, it's an L.A. sushi joint -- opening here in San Diego -- famous for famous people and Philippe Starck design. Johnson says it brings up the age old debate of L.A. versus San Diego. Johnson says, "I'm reviewing it for the next issue, so I can't tip my hand too much. But if you went for a Watermelon-Cucumber mojito with that crispy rice spicy tuna, that's a great (affordable) option. if really splurging, the dynamite lobster, served in shell."

What a neat public art project. These aerosol artists/muralists aren't practicing graffiti. Graffiti is uninvited and unauthorized whereas this public art is welcomed. Julius ZsakoAuthor: DEFACING AMERICA - The Rise of Graffiti Vandalismhttp://www.DefacingAmerica.com
